would oppose any such movement
Bishop ireland says: 'the Catholics OF German
birth descent in America are making no at

Assertions to the contrary are founded, so far as
they have any foundation, upon the sayings OF
individual Germans who ara in no way represent

The church in America, in all her human ap-
pointments, is not German. nor Irish. nor
French. nor Polish. nor Italian. 1t is American.

In my opinion, this general meeting of German

An Alleged Murderer surrenders.

LOUISVILLE. Aug. 14.-The troubles in Bell
county are probably at an end, as Jack Turner
the head of the Turner faction, has surrendered
himself to the jaer of Bell county. He sur
rendered last Monday. 1t is reported that
the others of the clan have disbanded and left
the State. When Turner surrendered he
fessed the killing of George Thomas. but made
no excuse for the crime. This statement is not
credited. and IL is believed he has confessed the
crime in order TO screen the guilty man and give
him time to make his escape. and that he
tIurnerl will prove himself innocent on the day
of his trial

Comptroller Trenholm Gives His Reasons for
Making n Call i'm August.
WASHINGTON Aug. 13.-Cornptroller Tren-
holm, in answer to inquiries about the reason
that prompted him to make the recent call on ths
nationals banks of the country for statement
of their condition Aug /. says that that data
was selected partly because previous reports
had been made about that time. and the infor-
nation requisite in order to complete stasis-
ii of record in the Office. Apart from this
reason. however the Comptroller says he should

might be correctly Informed of the
condition of the banks at the season at which
these institutions are preparing to meet the
annual demands upon them for the removal Of
crops Public attention. during August and
September. has been generally centered upou
the banks only in the large cities. especially
those in the Eastern States. By a natural and
perfectly healthy law of trade there is an annual
flow of currency and capital toward those con-
ters in the spring of the year, and a refiux iEto
the country autumn approaches. Every
autumn there is a demand upon New
York and other Eastern points for currency
TO be shipped to the West and South, and every
year there arises throughout the country ap
prehension of monetary scarcity, and OF
panic because Of this movement. OF course, il
the public look only at the points from which
money is being drawn. and have means OF
knowing what is going on at the more numerous
points to which that money is flowing, they will
be misled as TO the true meaning and effect OF
the movement, and may become dsquietsd
without cause. Those who watch move
ments of capital and currency, however,
understand that the absence of demand from the
country upon the cities at this of the
year would be really1nuch more alarming than it's
presence. because it would indicate that the
years worl. OF the farmers had left them but
little to sell. Well-informed persons also under
stand that unusual prosperity the aeri-
culturists necessarily produces unusual trans

thinks, be alarming to the country at large

PITTsBURG, Aug. 14-Francis Murphy came
from New York to-day TO rest and cure cold
which he contracted while in the East When
asked what he thought OF the law aud order
crusade against the Sunday sale of soda water in
this city Mr. Murphy said:
''It is not right. It is a sin. If had my way
! would have soda water sold Sunday and
have lemonade stands every corner in the
city. 1t is necessary that the people should
have cool, refreshing temperance drinks on Sun

sale is a benefit to mankind. by removing the
temptation to slip around a corner and indulge
in something of an intoxicating nature"

THE LATE RAILWAY HORROR
No Foundation for the Theory that the
Bridge Was Fired by Incendiaries.
The Disaster Believed to Be Traceable to Care
lessness Of Section Men-The Wounded
at ChatswOrth and Piper City.

CHICAGO, Aug IA Times special from
Champaign, ILL.,. says; 81. o. Baker, president
Of the Society of Engineers and professor of
civi, engineering in the University of Illinois,
returned last night from a careful personal
animation of the engineering problems OF the
CLatsworth disaster and examination of the
other bridges and culverts, and the protection
from FIRE given those culyerts by road officials
and track hands. He favored the Times's
correspondent with the following: 1.-The in
cendiary theory has no foundation whatever
/ unable. personally, to find any citizens of
Chatsworth who have seen suspicious characters
lettering about, required by that theory. The
flames of the burning culvert were plainly seen
from Chatsworth at intervals for several hours
before the accident. From the lay Of the land
they must have risen five six feet above the
track to have been seen far 1t is plain that
an attempt had been made to protect the bridges
of the road from fire, but personal
inspection of other culverts in that vicinity
shows that it not done so as to afford com
plete protection. A personal inspection along
the line OF the road for several miles shows that
grass and weeds not all burned off, but
many patches were left unburned, and in the
immediate vicinity it was more carelessly done
than elsewhere. The culvert itself was of the
usual build. and abundantly strong to
carry the train, but for the fire which
had destroyed the lower portion" He
added that he thought it probable
that the fire left by the section men, late in the
afternoon, who. by their own testimony, admit
ted that there was burning grass only forty rods
away, was driven down to the culvert by a
slight change of wind. Otherwise it is possible
that sparks from the special train of the supern-
tendent of bridges, the last train before the
fated excursion. kindled in the grass near the
culver, burned slowly for long time. and
finally fred the culysrt.

WHERE LOGAN lies.

The Hutchinson Vault Where His Remains
Will Be Kept Until Their Final Inter-
ment in Chicago.
General Logan's tomb is in the delight
full old Rock Creek cemetery, where for a
hundred years the best known citizens Of
the District OF Columbia have been laid to
rest, and where many famous men have
been from time to time inferred. The Gen.
erals tomb is one kindly offered for tenn
porary use by Mrs. Hutchinson, q wealthy
Washington lady. When preparations have
been made for the reception of General
Logan's remains in Chicago, he will be re
moved thither.
The Hutchinson tomb is doubtless the
most costly in the District. It is made OF
massive blocks of marble and the front
seems to be entire piece. The marble
is entirely from Maryland quarries, and
is exactly like that used in the Washing
